1 stick unsalted butter - cut into tablespoon pieces
1 3/4 cups granulated sugar
2 tablespoons milk
1/4 cup pumpkin puree
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
3 cups quick oats
Instructions
Measure out all ingredients before starting. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Place the butter, sugar and milk in a medium-sized saucepan. Over medium heat, bring to a boil, stirring consistently.
Once mixture is at a rolling boil, boil for exactly 1 minute.
Turn heat to low and add the pumpkin puree, peanut butter, vanilla extract, salt and pumpkin pie spice. Stir until the peanut butter and pumpkin puree are melted and smooth.
Remove from heat and add in the oats. Stir until thoroughly combined.
Use a 1/4 cup measuring cup to form the cookies. Gently shape them into round, flattened discs as you are dropping them onto the parchment lined baking sheet. This recipe will make approximately 1 dozen Pumpkin No Bake Cookies.
Place the baking sheet into the freezer for 1 hour, or the refrigerator for 2-3 hours, to chill and harden the cookies. Store in the refrigerator in a sealed container for up to 1 week.
